Yahoo! News - Teacher Faces Fine for Using Doorstop

Yahoo! News - Teacher Faces Fine for Using Doorstop: "State Fire Marshal Sterling Lewis Jr. said the corridor wall that contains the door is a smoke partition and the door must be able to close if there is a fire to hinder the spread of smoke. He said not all doors in the building fall under that designation, so some can be propped open legally and some can't.

Sixth-grade teacher Susanna Robinson said her door was not labeled a smoke partition. She said the windows in her classroom do not open, teachers have been told not to adjust the thermostat and the room is too hot when it is filled with students."

More infuriation. I'm hoping the judge ends up being humanitarian enough to drop the citation.
